Gelato fiordilatte – the perfect ice (not only) for children

When I was asked as a child what my favorite dessert is always came as a shot one answer: ICE! No chocolate cake or pudding was there to keep up and for every season. Once the ice cream parlors opened in the spring in Germany again, I had to go necessarily. Admittedly, I was what the varieties was concerned until the age of about 8 little experiment. There was always – and I do mean always – the same thing: chocolate or lemon in the waffle. Later I combined then both flavors of ice cream, how creative is not it?

But at some point there was a variety that really tasted it so much that I ordered it equal to me two balls that night: fiordilatte. Perhaps one or the other this sort familiar from holidays in Italy or there is this even in your Lieblingseisdiele around the corner. For those who do not know this: This is a very simple, very mild ice cream from milk, cream and sugar. Unlike many other ice cream places you omitted completely to the use of egg, which is why it is ideal just for children. The taste is the Mini Milk – Exactly, the known child rice lolly – very close. Somehow, this strain has then just pulled me and today I find this very tasty.

Why do I now tell you this story from my childhood? It's simple: When looking for a classic Italian dessert for my Sunday blog series, I've been thinking ever, what it is all for. And I've totally overlooked at the beginning of the most important desserts of Italian food: Gelato! After brainstorm then was for me the same note that I really want to show you the preparation of ice. In the selection of the variety I remembered then to the above story.

In order to produce this ice you need an ice machine for the desired creaminess. Theoretically, it would also have to go without, but then the material must be stirred every hour and at the end even more often again and again and it never reached any doubt the perfect consistency. If you have no ice machine, you can just try it once or you do it like me and asks about friends and relatives. Because with the help of this device the production of this type of ice cream is really easy!
